FAQ

A: If possible, I cut my locks on the left side (with pins at the top) as that makes it easier to see for us right-handed pickers. It also may interfere a bit less with the "feel" of picking if the cutout is in the opposite direction of tension.

However, many locks (including the American 1100 and PacLock 90A-Pro) have an internal screw assembly that would obscure the cylinder from view if the cutout was on the left side; I have no choice but to cut those locks on the right side instead. Other people who sell these same cutaway locks online all basically do the same, because we really have no choice due to the locks' design.

Q: Can you install standard driver pins instead, to make your locks easier to pick?
A: Yes, I can do that for you on the American 1100 or Abus 72/40, at no extra charge.

Q: Can I request another color of one of your locks?
A: Yes, feel free to email me at ryan@cutaways.store. I have quite a few extra colors already in stock, waiting to be cut out.

Q: I have a vintage lock that I'd like you to cut away. Can you do this?
A: During the development of a new cutaway model, there are inevitably at least a few screw-ups as I get everything dialed in on the CNC machine. I don't want to ruin your vintage lock. You might have better luck finding someone that has a manual milling machine rather than a CNC mill.

Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: I can take international orders through eBay only. I am not set up to ship internationally from this website due to the complexity of international taxes and regulations.

Q: I have another question. How can I contact you?
A: Feel free to email me at ryan@cutaways.store. I love to hear from fellow collectors and locksport enthusiasts.
